Q&A: What is the best movie camera with a manual focus option?

Question by invisible_love: What is the best movie camera with a manual focus option?
I am a beginning film studies student, and I would like to start making my own films. I’ve thought about getting a digital movie camera, but I don’t like how cheap and unprofessional the picture quality looks. I want to find a camera where it has good quality pixels and an option to manually focus it so I can focus on one object/person if desired. Any suggestions? Also, what is the best software for a beginning film maker?? Thanx

Best answer:

Answer by lare
the best equipment for any film maker, beginning or not, is to rent. at least try out the model you think will work. unless you are pumping out 20 or so movies a year, it does not make economic sense to throw money at studio gear.
